Eligible State Government Rates Snapshot

For hotels located in Wisconsin, travelers are eligible to use State Government Rates and University of Wisconsin System rates.

 

What happens if I booked a State Government Rate in a different state?

You may be denied the rate at check-in and be charged a rate higher than the lodging per diem.

Why are State Government Rates from a different State displayed in Concur? Shouldn’t only eligible rates be displayed?

If State Government Rates were prevented from being displayed in Concur, this would include State of Wisconsin government rates. As UW Travelers are eligible for those rates and a large portion of our travel is within Wisconsin, we cannot turn off this rate type.
